On certain vehicles, a wiring harness connector for the heating, ventilation and air conditioning blower motor located under the passenger's side of the instrument panel may be subject to kicking by the front seat passenger's feet. If this occurs, the connector terminal may overheat, and this may cause the wire insulation to melt or the wiring connector to melt. A fire may occur if the wiring insulation melts and the exposed wires make contact with each other and create a short circuit. Correction: Dealers will replace damaged connectors and install a protective cover.
